Heading to the beach
When Talia and Damon descended to the main floor, they were welcomed by the clamor in the main hallway as the girls were getting ready to depart to the beach.
Maya was in the center of the commotion with Meg, Kalina, Mindy, and Tatiana facing her and asking questions related to what to expect at the beach.
Talia and Damon could hear from the top of the stair how Maya was reminding them that lunch will wait for them there and that they will also have beach towels, snacks, chilled drinks, bodyboards, balls, and snorkeling equipment.
Talia was looking forward to what was coming, and she hoped that she will get to swim with Damon, and maybe play a game with a ball in the water.
She once saw a group in the waist-deep water throwing a ball to each other, and she clearly remembered laughter and the good mood, and Talia always wanted to do that.
